Problem summary

If you cannot save your Powtoon, the issue is usually caused by one of three things: you are not signed in to the account that owns the Powtoon, a large image or audio file is still uploading, or your internet connection is unstable.

Likely causes

  • You are not logged in to the account where the Powtoon was created.
  • A large image or audio file is still uploading.
  • Your internet connection was interrupted while saving.

Steps to resolve

  1. Confirm that you are signed in to the correct Powtoon account.
  2. Open the Powtoon you were working on.
  3. Click Save again.
  4. If you recently uploaded a large image or audio file, wait until the upload finishes, then try saving again.
  5. Check that your internet connection is stable.
  6. Try saving again once your connection is working normally.

If it still does not work

  • Try the save process again after refreshing your connection or reopening the Powtoon.
  • If you still cannot save, contact Powtoon Support and include:
    • the email address on the account you used
    • the name of the Powtoon you were editing
    • whether you were uploading an image or audio file
    • what you saw when the save failed
